Condition Report
The tea service appears in a very tarnished state and would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface wear, marks and scratches. Visible solder around seam lines and further small solder repairs. A few minor dints and bumps. Some rubbing to character marks but still legible. The removable lids sit quite well, although they appear to be unmarked.
